Testimonies of Healing
Ever since I can remember, I desired to know the truth of all things. When I was visiting different churches in my search for Truth, my prayer was, "Dear God, if there is a truth beyond this material ceremony, lead me that I may find it.
It is high time I put into writing the gratitude I feel for Christian Science. For over thirty years it has been my only physician.

It gives me great pleasure to be able to testify to the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science. Seven years ago a great change came into my life when I accepted its teachings.
What has been done for me by a correct concept of God as revealed through Christian Science can best be described in the words of the fortieth Psalm: "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.
